SUPERFICIAL THINGS Trivial drama. Stupid games. Petty deals. 
Things Fiel never imagined he'd be dragged into, especially not after finally making it to college. He had only two priorities: school and family. That was the plan. But within the first few weeks, reality hit harder than he expected. Overwhelmed and cornered, he found himself making a deal he never thought he'd consider; with none other than the school's infamous heartbreaker. Karson Icarus Silverio. A name that screamed wealth, charm, and trouble. All Karson wanted was to win over Fiel's best friend. And Fiel? He just wanted the cash. Becoming a reluctant wingman felt like a small price to pay...at first. But as the days blurred and boundaries thinned, Fiel began to realize something unsettling: nothing was going according to plan. And maybe, there was more between him and Silverio than either of them cared to admit. Questions started to race in his head. How long could they keep pretending? 
And when would they admit that these weren't just superficial things anymore? Nonetheless, when a pill is begging to be swallowed, it would be difficult to deny it. Not when it keeps you up until dawn.

Have you experienced the highschool love? Raven Sevino had... but it was quite different. A love where all started from just a dare- Dare to Court Him.

Sebastian Mikhail Astor was one hell of a guy. Girls would kneel and beg for his attention. He was tall and masculine, ruggedly handsome, intelligent, and immensely wealthy-the kind of rich you see on TV, with a huge mansion, countless assets, and a team of bodyguards always around him. Plus, he looked like he smelled both minty and woody from afar, and he did smell really good. And did I mention he was extremely gorgeous? Then there's me... Girls find me endearing, often calling me "Amory honey." They say I'm too pretty for a guy. I used to like girls too, until I realized Sebastian's scent was so intoxicating. Why would a straight guy like me be drawn to someone as manly as him? Turns out, I'm going gay for him. At a Saturday night party, I made the biggest mistake of my life. I boasted that I could make Sebastian fall for me in front of his friends and a crowd. Thanks to my stupid, foul mouth, I agreed it would happen within a month! But I doubt a straight guy like him would even notice me. I don't even know where to start. I was supposed to be straight, you know...but he makes me feel the stupidest and strangest things ever. And me, being Amory Alejandro Villegas, would not be bottomed...supposedly. What measures can I take to aim for his heart?
